Rodney Walker (architect)
Rodney Walker was a midcentury modern designer and builder who specialized in residential architecture in the Southern California area. He contributed three designs to Arts & Architecture magazine's Case Study House program during the late 1940s (Case Study House #16, #17, and #18). Many of his homes were photographed by Julius Shulman for ''Arts & Architecture'' magazine, ''Better Homes and Gardens'', ''Architectural Record'', ''Sunset'', and the ''Los Angeles Times Home'' magazine.
==Life and career==
Rodney Walker was born in Ely, Nevada, on September 15, 1910. He attended Pasadena City College before transferring to University of California Los Angeles where he graduated with a degree in art. In 1937, Rodney and his wife Dorothea built their first house in West Los Angeles. Soon after, he went to work for Rudolph M. Schindler as a draftsman.
Over the next thirty years, Walker designed and built some 100 homes in Southern California. He designed numerous "case-study" homes, exploring the adaptability of new ideas in small houses. He was known for being able to hold down construction costs.〔(Rodney Walker; Noted Designer, Home Builder ) ''Los Angeles Times'', June 21, 1986.〕
From 1958, Walker lived in the 4,300 square foot hilltop home in Ojai, California, that he designed and built and that he considered his masterpiece. After he discontinued home designing and contracting, he ran the Oaks hotel in Ojai for the past 15 years and operated a store in which he sold jewelry that he crafted. Rodney Walker died in 1986 at his home in Ojai. He was survived by his wife, Dorothea; sons, Bruce, Mark and Craig, as well as twin daughters, Ellen Langston and Lisa Kaufman.〔(Rodney Walker; Noted Designer, Home Builder ) ''Los Angeles Times'', June 21, 1986.〕
